Generally speaking, I am not a big fan of country music. When I first heard about the band Her & Kings County, I was told they're a good country band, actively gigging across the U.S.A and opening for the likes of Kid Rock. While the country influence is definitely there, to call Her & Kings County a country band is to unfairly limit them to a single genre when there are all kinds of musical influences present and well-blended: pop, blues, bluegrass, jazz, and good hard rock & roll. Should this group find success with a major label, or as an indie, I am sure they'll be classified as "crossover" in the best sense of the word.
